what supplements work well for rugby? what has helped you play at your best in matches and whats has helped you pack on mass in the off season?

the maximuscle products seem to be very popular among rugby players. supps like cyclone and viper give loads of energy while recovermax helps recovery. however the maximuscle products are quite pricy

i agree supplements for rugby differ slightly from body building, they need a lot more carbs and simple sugars for recovery and energy. there training is way to intense for low carb diets. maximuscle seems to lead the way in rugby, probablly due to the sponsership deals with a lot of the top class players and the advertisments around the games. cyclone seems to be top of there list.

a lot of ppl i know take no. xplode b4 rugby...seems kinda dangerous ain't it?

i would take it now and again before matches, keeps me going the whole time! I dont see whats wrong with it.

I hear about a lot of people taking X-Plode before sport but is it not the caffeine element that gets you alert? would that not mean you would get the same effect from using caffeine tabs?

The no xplode wont do u any harm wot so ever b for any sport . :wink:

i know ye i have tried it! It started coming back up during the game that was my main prob! Tried ephodrine before games also, although banned you get unbelievable energy

coffee does me for my pre work out, cant use no xplode or any pre works any more they make me very dizzy.

venom, do you know why that is, did you used to be able to take them and just got too used to them or something

yeah i was using them for ages, then i started using wtf pumped and on my second tub started getting dizzy all the time, i didnt know what was causing it, so ijust kept going, then i stopped using the pump and the dizzy spells went away, used the nano vapor then a few weeks ago and the same thing started happening so i just stopped using them, i think its the caffine in them to be honest, i think my body just said enough of this. are you having the same problem?

Ye i have had that big time with the nano vapor. I have tried Xplode, Shotgun and Nano Vapor i was wondering why i had started to feel a bit off using it, i just put it down to the Vapors wild warnings on the tub! Makes sense though if it is me needing to lay of the pre-workouts and caffeine for a while and just use monohydrate instead.

in may i was taking no xplode and i felt really dizzy about mid way and after my workout,i took it about 2 or 3 more times cause i thought i might have just been tired or something but i still felt dizze, i dunno why but it was like that and when i stopped takin it i was grand, and i tried it about 3 weeks later and i was grand.
Wierd
i still take them now and not a bother
